i used to run
camp in the backyard and
play in the sun
we couldn't wait to grow up
man we were young
all of the crazy things
we thought we'd become
we were so young
before mom and dad went gray
before my friends moved away
i never thought i'd feel this way but i do
before i knew what it meant
to love somebody you can't get and fight the voices in your head that tell you what to
when did the simple things get so complicated when did the future stop feeling so far
when did our lives decide to play out like they did
but we're getting smarter
the farther and farther we go
the farther and farther we go
the farther and farther we go
we layed in the grass
talking and holding hands
we thought it would last
all of the things we had
and when i look back
back on the past someday
maybe i'll laugh
we were so young
before mom and dad went gray
before my friends moved away
i never thought i'd feel this way but i do
before i knew what it meant
to try to love someone you can't
and fight the voices in your head
that tell you what to do
when did the simple things get so complicated
when did the future stop feeling so far
when did our lives decide to play out like they did
but we're getting smarter
the farther and farther we go
